[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 231981, member: 3493"] I had a similar issue with my dyslexic son but with reading not math. He was getting Orton-Gillingham and progressed so quickly that they switched him to Wilson. He then got close to grade level with intensive work. At our meeting, they said oh, we are going to stop reading instruction and just send him to resource room (which he also had) because he was doing so well. My response was great, so now we can watch him regress and deteriorate, I won't agree. The sped teacher then spoke up and agreed with me. Bottom line, Wilson continued one more year, then we switched to resource room 4 times a week and in middle school, he was sent out of district to a private Learning Disability (LD) school. He is in grade 7 and we are actually considering bringing him back to district for HS. I have found that the regression argument will work very well for some districts. In your position, I would make the argument that any progress has been solely and wholly due to the intensive work she got in that class and that she will regress, as she is doing, without that program. I would call the state agency and ask if it is true that they will get cited if her MFE is too high and if there is a possibility of a waiver if needed. The schools often lie to you. Do your research and make your arguments in a calm and objective matter. Remind them that YOUR only concern is YOUR child and that in terms of your child's IEP, they are not to think of any other child at the time. [/QUOTE]
